T. — Remarks on some Copepoda from the Falkland Islands 

 collected by Mr. Rupert Vallentin, F.L.S. Bv Thomas 

 Scott, LL.D., F.L.S. 



[Plates I. & II.] 



Several expeditions engaged in scientific research in the 

 southern oceans have, from time to time, visited the Falkland 

 Islands and collected samples of the fauna of tiiis far-distant 

 British dependency; consequently, as the Rev. T. R. R. 

 Stebbing remarks, ''the general fcatni'es of the zoology of 

 the Falklands are tolerably well known ■'^"^. So far, how- 

 ever, as the Crustacean fauna is concerned, marine species 

 appear to have received rather more attention than those 

 found in the fresh waters of the Islands. 



One of the later visits to these Islands was that of the 

 Swedish South Polar Expedition in 1901-1903. Some 

 fresh-water collections from the Falklands were brought 

 home by this expedition, and the Copepoda contained in 

 these were reported on by ])r. Sven Ekman in 1903 in 

 Licferung 4, vol. v. of the account of the expedition.
